Jack Reacher: Audiobooks in Order

by Lee Child

Few names in thriller writing carry the weight of Jack Reacher, Lee Child’s wandering ex-military policeman, and the series has now reached its thirty-first entry. Our catalogue lists Chain Reaction, a brisk three and a half hour listen that distils the Reacher formula into something you can finish in a single determined evening.

Why listen to Jack Reacher?

Brian Nishii narrates Chain Reaction, and the shorter running time changes the listening experience entirely: this is thriller as espresso shot, best taken in one or two sittings with no time for the tension to cool. For a series famed for propulsive plotting, audio suits it beautifully.Starting at book thirty-one sounds daunting, but Reacher has long attracted listeners who dip in wherever they land, and a three and a half hour entry is arguably the gentlest possible introduction. It suits commuters, first-time Reacher listeners wanting a taster before committing to the longer novels, and devotees simply keeping their collection complete.

Clara’s verdict

Clara Whitmore

3.5/5

The scoreboard shows a perfect 5.0, and I would love to leave it there, but three ratings is a whisper rather than a verdict. What those three listeners are telling us is encouraging, and the pedigree of a thirty-one book series is not nothing, yet I have made it a rule never to inflate a score on so thin a sample. I will say 3.5 for now, with every expectation it climbs as more Reacher devotees check in.
